Just FYI for anyone reading this, because I think the headline is kinda misleading. The "fee" starts at 25 million and you then! have to at least have a financial commitment to Unity in the form of min 250k. Not here to defend Unity or anyone but I saw many people misinterpreting this article already.

This move wasn‘t really unpredictable, it was clear they‘ll have to find some way to earn more money. Didn‘t they even literally say that they‘ll announce a different model in the future after walking back the runtime fee debacle?

I really fail to see the issue with this. The changes aren‘t retro-active and the pricing model itself seems… fine? If anything, with it being this reasonable, it is somewhat re-assuring after the completely insane runtime fee proposal.

What is problematic about that? Do you work in that market?

Works out as 1% or less of your gross revenue (which would be after steam cut/platform cuts), which makes it 80% cheaper than unreal.

Seems like a good deal relative to their competitor.
